Cost of Living Grants approved!
At the end of September, we set up a £50,000 fund to help organisations supporting people struggling with rising costs. A Cancer support centre, school and foodbank are among the first organisations to benefit from the scheme.
Several organisations will each receive £1,000 to support those in need:
Harrow Way Community School, Andover
Jane Scarth House, a Cancer Support Centre, Romsey
The Freedom Church Community Hub, Romsey
The Royal British Legion, Romsey
The Mountbatten School, in Romsey, have been given £585 for a Winter Breakfast Club and Citizen’s Advice Test Valley and Andover Foodbank have each been awarded £2,500 for caseworkers.
Charities, not-for-profit and voluntary organisations, parish and town councils, and schools can still apply for a share of the money to help them support people who are struggling with the rising cost of living. Visit our website here: http://bit.ly/3UbsQND
